"The third matter, to enfeoff Ye Cangtian as a permanent guest elder of the Bright Hall, without actual power, but he can participate in external hall discussions, with a status equal to that of a reverent!"
Hiss!
When Nancy uttered these words, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.
Although Ye Cangtian was a Heavenly-grade expert, and they had submitted to his might, he was an object of hatred for the Bright Hall.
It was simple, without Ye Cangtian, would the Bright Hall be where it was today?
Furthermore, how much Bright Hall blood had stained Ye Cangtian's hands?
With such deep-seated animosity, how could he be qualified to be a guest elder, let alone one equal to a reverent?
"..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's lips twitched immediately.
This was not a pre-arranged scenario, nor did he intend to extend his influence so far.
Moreover, he was to head to the Huaxia Ruins upon his return, and his interactions with the outside world would decrease significantly. Therefore, he genuinely did not wish to accept this position.
However, upon further consideration, Nancy was the one he had helped ascend to the papal throne, and today was Nancy's coronation day. It was inconvenient to refuse at this moment, so he could only endure it for now.
"I object!"
This time, Elianor stepped forward again. Although the other party had Ye Cangtian's backing, as a member of the Bright Hall, he could not let Nancy act recklessly!
Furthermore, he did not know if this was Ye Cangtian's scheme.
After all, before Nancy became Pope, she had first become a mere saintess without real power.
Thus, in his opinion, Ye Cangtian might be using such means to gradually get the people of the Bright Hall to accept him.
Then, when the time was ripe, he could replace Nancy and control the entire Bright Hall.
For this reason, he absolutely could not accept it. If that were the case, wouldn't his position as Pope be lost?
"Objection invalid! My mind is made up!" Nancy glanced at Elianor and said coldly.
"Nancy, don't go too far!"
Hearing Nancy's voice, Elianor exploded.
He continued, "You must know that the Ye Cangtian you speak of just yesterday forced the previous Pope to his death, severely injured Guang Yu, and under his arrangement, also eliminated Louis!"
After a pause, Elianor continued, "If you continue to insist on your own way, even if I have to risk this old life, I will stop you!"
"Good! Then come!"
Nancy slammed the table and stood up, a long sword already appearing in her hand.
The other party had repeatedly questioned her decisions, challenging her authority as Pope, which she could not tolerate.
"Cough, cough!"
Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense and a confrontation seemed imminent, a light cough was heard.
The next moment, cold sweat appeared on Elianor's forehead. He naturally didn't care about Nancy, but with Ye Cangtian standing out now, things became problematic.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian glanced at the two of them and then said, "Thank you for your favor, Your Holiness, but I cannot accept this guest elder position. I hope this does not cause internal conflict within the Bright Hall."
This...
As his words fell, both Elianor and Nancy froze on the spot.
Elianor did not expect Ye Cangtian to not confront him, while Nancy was surprised that Ye Cangtian actually refused the position.
Thinking of this, Nancy cast a questioning glance, but Ye Cangtian offered no explanation.
Helplessly, Nancy frowned and finally said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for considering my Bright Hall. Then this matter will be put aside for now!"
Hmph!
Although Nancy changed her mind, Elianor still snorted coldly.
In his opinion, Nancy was a dog raised by Ye Cangtian. Otherwise, why would she change her mind after Ye Cangtian said just one sentence?
However, this was also good. If this matter were to be reported back to the inner hall, Nancy's papal throne might not last long.
After all, the inner hall did not wish for their Pope to be a puppet of Huaxia.
At the same time, the others around had basically formed the same opinion of Nancy, but dared not voice it.
Ye Cangtian saw everything.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Holiness, today is your coronation, and I have also prepared a gift for you."
Upon hearing this, Nancy looked over curiously, "Oh?"
Feeling Nancy's gaze, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, then looked at Elianor and said lightly, "Elianor, it's time to bring some things out, isn't it?"
"What? What things!"
Elianor was stunned. He had no idea what Ye Cangtian was talking about.
What did the other party preparing a gift have to do with him?
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian said lightly, "Yesterday, the Pope committed suicide, and you led people to clean up the scene. Then the previous Pope's Qiankun bag should be with you, right?
Since Nancy has now become Pope, then the Qiankun bag in your hand should also belong to her!"
This...
At these words, Elianor's face turned ashen.
Yes, the previous Pope's Qiankun bag was indeed in his hand, but he was absolutely unwilling to hand it over.
One must know that the previous Pope had reigned for decades and accumulated countless treasures. Moreover, with the support of the inner hall, he had stored numerous elixirs.
These elixirs were enough for him to increase the combat power of many people, forming an indispensable force. How could he bear to part with them?
Thinking of this, Elianor quickly said, "What Qiankun bag? I didn't see anything."
Hmph!
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian snorted coldly and said, "Things that do not belong to you will eventually be spat out. So, you had better be cooperative and don't force me to act!"
Elianor's face changed again, and he quickly said, "What do you mean? Do you intend to cause trouble at this time!"
As his words fell, before Ye Cangtian could speak, Nancy picked up the conversation.
"Elianor, you must know that all the possessions left by the former Pope belong to the outer hall. If you do not hand them over, let alone Ye Cangtian, even I will not let you off!"
As Nancy's words fell, the people in the hall nodded in agreement.
The reason was simple: if these treasures fell into Elianor's hands, they would have nothing to do with them, and they would gain no benefit.
But if they fell into Nancy's hands, they might be rewarded later.
Comparing the two, they would naturally choose the latter.
"This..."
Seeing the expressions of the people in the outer hall, Elianor's face became completely gloomy.
Nancy and Ye Cangtian were already giving him a headache, and now even the people in the outer hall were siding with them, making things even more difficult.
After a long period of silence, Elianor finally could not withstand the pressure, slowly took out the Qiankun bag, and then threw it towards Nancy.
When Nancy received the Qiankun bag and examined its contents, her eyes lit up. The treasures here were indeed innumerable.
After a moment, she looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Mr. Ye, thank you. I like your gift very much."
Ye Cangtian waved his hand and smiled, "This is only the first gift. Here is the second gift."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian had already flashed to Elianor's side, his large hand reaching out without restraint.
Hiss!
Sensing Ye Cangtian's action, Elianor suddenly gasped, and began to dodge frantically.
However, his cultivation was not as good as Ye Cangtian's, and he was also slow to react. As soon as he dodged, Ye Cangtian grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"This person has repeatedly defied the Pope in front of everyone. If you, the people of the Bright Outer Hall, do not care, I, as Nancy's friend, will not stand by!"
Ye Cangtian's voice echoed. The people of the outer hall remained silent. Here, if Ye Cangtian wanted to act, who could stop him?
Moreover, they were, after all, subordinates of the Pope. Ye Cangtian was acting on behalf of the Pope, so they had no reason to interfere.
"You guys..."
Seeing that no one intervened, Elianor trembled with anger but finally fixed his gaze on Ye Cangtian.
He calmed down slightly and said gloomily, "Ye Cangtian, outside the hall are the members of the Bright Knight's Order. If you kill me, you won't be able to leave here either!"
"Do you think I can't sense them?"
"Let me tell you, the reason I'm taking you down is to make an example of you!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the other party coldly.
He wanted to use this method to tell everyone, including the two reverents in the inner hall, that daring to provoke Nancy meant a dead end.
This...
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Elianor's face changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Ye Cangtian, no, no, let me go..."
Crack!
Before Elianor could finish speaking, a crisp sound entered his mind. Ye Cangtian had already twisted his neck with his hand.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian threw Elianor aside and looked at the deputy leaders of the Bright Knight's Order.
"Go back and tell the two reverents in the inner hall that I killed this person. If they are not satisfied, they can come to Huaxia to find me!"
